Alexandria

Alexandria, Virginia, was founded in 1749. From its earliest days as an active port, it has played an important role in the history of the region and the nation. In addition to many historic buildings that still stand, the stories of Alexandria are underground, in old records, or passed on through oral history and story-telling.
